Cannot unlock my music in Harmonix Music VR

Is anyone else having issues getting their music to even display properly when choosing songs? And even if I'm lucky enough to get even 3 to show up, once I add them to the playlist, I can't hit the button to continue.

Before, I had my music under a folder titled MUSIC in the root directory, and then the songs were separated by artist folders. One folder contained M4A files, which the game was kind enough to let me know it only supported other file types. After that, I deleted that folder, and just put all the songs in a group without any folders. Still had issues. All were MP3.

Alright, at a glance, the problem is your sorting. Folder titled 'Music' and songs directly in it. No nesting by artist or anything.

My wording was pretty bad, but I meant to say that afterwards, I placed all my music in the MUSIC folder, without any sorting or folders. My USB is basically I:/removableD/MUSIC/[around 20-30 songs here]

Same thing for me too, even the songs built into the game dont work when my USB is plugged in, using a 32 Gig Sony Flash Drive, took off all the unsupported audio files and changed nothing. The songs are in a folder simply named "music" without any sub folders at all.

Hey, i think i might have found what the problem is, for me it was an issue of having some Japanese Kanji in the file names, erased those out of the file name of the songs and it seems to work now, not the ID3 Tags, just the actual MP3 files.

If you're not bringing SingSpace to the PS4/PSVR, how about adding a karaoke mode into Harmonix Music VR?

Since the PSVR has a mic, I found myself singing along to my fave tunes on The Beach... it would be awesome if there was a zone where it detected our pitch and scored us on how closely it matched what was being played. Lyrics aren't necessary, and i'm not expecting anything like SingStar, just some sort of simple karaoke mode would be an awesome addition to the app/game.

That totally did it. Although I also needed to get rid of some Japanese characters in the tags as well. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the heads up on the Japanese characters issue!

The problem is that Harmonix Music VR dont read UTF-8 charactes, its not only about japanese characters! Japanese characters are UTF-8 characters too!

Hello, I am having the same issue. I have USB thumb drive with nothing on it, except for a folder called “music” in the root directory. I tried adding about 100 MP3’s to the folder, and then plugged it into my PS4. It lit up, but I never saw any of the songs appear anywhere in the game or never got any notifications about it... I came here and found someone mentioned an issue with characters in the files, so I removed all the songs except for one... I plugged it back into my PS4, but I am still not seeing it anywhere. :-( The song only has letters and numbers in the file name. Does anyone have any idea how I can get my own music into the game? That’s the main reason I bought it, and i would really appreciate it if anyone could help me getting it to work.
